We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Going off of information from an article from Route One Magazine Zebra 2 from March 2024 is that Zebra 2 was to bring 201 buses to Go-Ahead Group with confirmed numbers being that Go South West’s Plymouth CityBus, and Go Cornwall Bus operators will share 50 buses thanks to £28.5 million of investment. Further along the coast, Southern Vectis and Salisbury Reds will add 45 zero-emission buses to their fleets. The operator’s Metrobus will fleet in Crawley will be boosted by 43 vehicles, while 16 will go to Brighton & Hove Buses. Newly acquired Pulham’s Coaches will receive 15 buses at its Bourton-on-the-Water depot. Thanks to a joint bid between Hull City and East Riding of Yorkshire Council, East Yorkshire Buses will introduce 21 zero-emission buses.

With what is stated above that totals 190 of 201 accounted for with x11 I believe to be for Go North East not mentioned, further to that The Go-Ahead Group/Go North East have not yet confirmed what has been ordered under funds awarded via Zebra 2 funds that were an allocated amount of £7.4m to Transport North East for 43 Buses, I wonder what the hold up is when other local authorities across the country have since confirmed what they are ordering, we are now 7 months down the line since these funds were allocated and not a peep for the local authority or the operator who is due to receive these new buses.
